Two-time Oscar-nominated actress Scarlett Johansson is making her directorial debut with the upcoming drama Eleanor the Great. Oscar-nominated actress June Squibb (About Schmidt, Nebraska, Thelma) will star in the lead role, and she has been cast alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Jessica Hecht (Friends, The Sinner), and Erin Kellyman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Green Knight).

The movie, formerly titled Eleanor, Invisible, follows Eleanor Morgenstein (Squibb), a 90-year-old woman trying to rebuild her life after the death of her best friend. As a result, she moves back to New York City after living in Florida for decades.

Tory Kamen (The Mick) wrote the screenplay. TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Classics, partnering for the first time, will release Eleanor the Great in theaters on a yet-to-be-determined date.
